5 Using Load Cards and Loads
UUT Connections
When configured as part of a standard Agilent system, P2 of the
load card is typically connected via cables to a mass
interconnect panel. User connections to the UUT are then made
from the mass interconnect panel. Refer to the appropriate
mass interconnect wiring guide for connection details.
You can also make connections directly to P2. Figure 5-26 is a
simplified load card schematic and P2 connector pinout
showing the details. Each row of P2 represents a single load
card channel. The three pins in each row are connected together
on the PC board for current sharing. When making UUT
connections, wire across all three pins in each row. This ensures
current sharing across all pins and prevents premature pin
failure from excessive current flow.
